Creative Catharsis

Brian Hanson — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 17:30:30 +0000

Clients are a different breed. We’ve all heard them say some things that can’t be believed, there’s even entire blogs dedicated to it. The creative community in Ireland has decided to release their anger, frustration, sadness and more anger in a series of posters that are as beautiful as they are hilarious and captivating.

The entire collection will be on display and for sale at The Little Green Café, Bar and Gallery in Dublin but if you don’t happen to live in Dublin you can see more works at the Sharp Suits website.

JR Schmidt is a 3D Artist & Motion Designer based in New York, USA. He has created a number of geometric landscapes with a surreal fairy-tale vibe. His worlds are composed of playful colors, castles, waterfalls, and small villages that are all detailed & formed by polygons.
